What's included

Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.

What this work can involve

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

Powered door rules that apply in Falmouth

Falmouth is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

How the work is organised

On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.

Industrial door motor replacement in Falmouth: your questions

How soon can a door motor in Falmouth be replaced?

Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Falmouth?

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Falmouth?

Not always. Broken springs, damaged guides, failed panels, safety device faults and supply problems can all look like a failed motor. We diagnose first so you do not pay for a motor that will not fix the fault.
